    Genetic Disorder Research Project/Poster

    Objective: To use effective research skills to find and select appropriate information to create a “poster” to inform others
    about a genetic disorder.

    Genetic disorders are hereditary conditions caused by defective genes. You and your partner will sign up to research a genetic
    disorder from the linked genetic disorder list or you may find another disorder to research. Your selection must be approved
    by the instructor.

    You will use your research to create a single PowerPoint slide to be used as a poster or fact sheet that presents information
    about the genetic disorder you selected. The slide will be graded on the information presented, neatness, and legibility. We
    will then share our research in a gallery walk so you can learn about the genetic disorders researched by your classmates. As
    you read the information on their projects, you will take notes and provide comments.

    I made an example you can use when you are creating the slide. The example is attached in a document online.

    When you create the educational PowerPoint slide, use the following checklist to ensure you have included all of the
    necessary/required information:
